Vegan MoFo Day 28: Lebanese Taco Combo

So, what we had for dinner yesterday is a combination of Day 25 (fave cuisine) and Day 28 (taco vs. burritos) prompts. It’s difficult to pick a favorite cuisine, but one we often turn to when we want sometime fresh and satisfying is Lebanese/Middle Eastern food. It’s especially awesome when the weather is a bit too […]Read Post ›

Vegan MoFo Day 19: Food to go!

Lunch on the go is the prompt for day 19. I wasn’t going anywhere, but I slapped together a quick little open-faced sandwich/toast situation. Bread, artichoke hummus, marinaded artichokes, and fresh parsley. We also had a quick dinner…take out of vegetable chow mien and eggplant tofu from a new-to-us place. It was okay, a bit […]Read Post ›

Vegan MoFo Day 8 through 18: Yikes! Where have the days gone!?!

Yikes! I’ve missed so many days of posting! I managed to document some of the days and I’m determined not to totally abandon this monthlong endeavor. Between a new position at work (with more hours + extra work) and classes, I have been a walking zombie most days. Here is a rundown of some of the […]Read Post ›

Vegan MoFo Day 7: Inspiration from a book/film

Day 7 is inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Princess and the Pea. Do you have a hater of peas in your life? How discerning is their palate for picking out those dreaded orbs? I love peas and I don’t really know anyone that dislikes them. I had a handful of dried peas in the pantry…not enough to […]Read Post ›

Vegan MoFo Day 6: A few things plus a Labor Day weekend hangout

We tried jackfruit for the first time today. I’ve only used canned jackfruit in the past and the fresh fruit is giant and a little intimidating. When I saw some pre-cut pieces at the market, I decided to grab one. You have to separate the arils from the stringy stuff. It’s quite delicious! Day 6 […]Read Post ›

Vegan MoFo Day 3-5: Adzuki, fennel, and something darn tasty.

Thursday and Friday were a bit crazy so didn’t get a chance to post. Here is a rundown of days 3 through 5. Thursday, Day 3 – Quick, easy, and delicious Work, class, mega sleep deficit…had some patjuk in the fridge that I heated up and ate along with marinated perilla leaves and grapes. Quick and simple.

Vegan MoFo Day 2: Let’s zoom back to my childhood

Day 2 of Vegan MoFo prompted me to recreate a childhood meal. I decided early on to integrate as much Korean cuisine into my MoFo 2015 experience as I could. Although there are many comfort foods that offer all the fuzzy, cozy feelings that make it comfort food, nothing can come close to the food […]Read Post ›

Vegan MoFo Day 1: What’s for breakfast, dude?

I’m not really a big breakfast person. Sometimes I’ll manage a smoothie or a coffee…maybe a meal bar? Mornings are hectic and I just want to focus on dealing with the traffic. Lately at work, my lunch break has been quite early. It begins somewhere around 10:15 to 10:25 am. Yeah. So I’m counting it […]Read Post ›
